One of the most important milestones in any girl’s life will be her “Sweet 16”. This is the special day when a little girl reaches her full bloom and begins growing into the woman she will become. Make sure that the party you give her is something she will cherish and remember for the rest of her life. 

 

Sweet 16 Party Ideas:

1. Lavish – Why not go all out on this one and throw an extreme event for your birthday lady? They do it on MTV’s Sweet 16 all the time, right? Make this event so extravagant, the high school principal is Tweeting about it. For this type of event, if you have the budget, hiring an events planner would be worth every penny. It does help to have an expert to do the planning, especially if you are curating a lavish event. A planner would host the event and be responsible for gathering the supplies, decorations, food, music, designing the set and for catering to the Sweet 16 princess as well as her guests. The theme, which would be discussed between both birthday gal and event planner, must be electrifying and the party favors have to be just as awesome. This kind of party would probably be best ended with the presentation of a shiny new car to the shiny new 16 year old. 

2. Fairytale – One a princess, always a princess no matter what the age. This theme is a popular choice among parents and celebrants for a Sweet 16. Invited young ladies should be instructed to dress enchantingly lovely. The day should be spent doing things that only princesses do, like getting their nails done, receiving in-home spray tans, having facials done, all while snacking on chocolate covered strawberries, of course. 

3. Slumber Party – This is something that young ladies love to do, plus it is pretty inexpensive! Order some pizza, grab some movies, and decorate the house for a great time! You can even give out some cool party favors to your guests, like lip balms, blankets, chocolates and even cute hair accessories. 

4. Retro – Get the groove back to the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s or oh my – even the 90’s! This type of themed party will definitely be a flashy day for your young lady and her other guests. Perfect colorful outfits would be a surefire hit and would make the Instagram photos soooooo like worthy. Just don’t cringe when she asks to borrow some of your clothes to complete her outfit.

5. Masquerade – Why not host a mysterious and unique event by having a Sweet 16 Masquerade Ball! This theme is very elegant and fabulous, and is totally enjoyable. Encourage guests to design their own masks for a more personal touch, or direct them to the nearest “Romancing the Stone” so they can buy one like they’re probably going to do anyhow. 

Go find the best party favor ideas with reasonable prices to fit any budget and start planning your own party!

Getting ready to throw a Halloween party for teens? Well here’s a few good ideas you might need! Conjure up a few ghost stories, summon the spirits, and create devilish looking Jack-O-Lanterns. A teenage Halloween party can actually be fun for all ages—yes, that includes parents as well! Invite the moms and dads over for a ghoulish time, and add a few adult beverages just for them!

Teens are nearing the end of their trick-or-treating years, and honestly so are the adults who have to lug them around, but a Halloween bash makes everyone happy! You need Halloween decorations (of course—and we have a few in stock, if you know what we mean)…balloons, awesome scary tunes, cauldrons, streamers, tombstones, skeletons, and some great recipes are all needed for the perfect party!

Teens enjoy wearing fun, daring, and creepy costumes while carousing around the party, so let them have their fun! Let your kiddos cut loose, and get crazy—and they’ll have a great time!

The Meat of the Party

For the greatest of Halloween parties that will have the whole school talking, you need to make it an elaborate affair. Get dry ice, spooky music–and you must have a replica cemetery constructed. Create a scary dance floor and add a fog machine for the full effect. For more fun, have someone act as a palm or tarot reader and give everyone their very own fortunes! If you have the land to do it, incorporate a hay ride—maybe even through your very own haunted trail!

Lesser Evil

Maybe an elaborate affair isn’t what your teen wants…no biggie. All you really need is a few decorations, some great music, awesome food, and the teens will have a great time just hanging out with their buddies all dressed up in costumes!

Tick Tick Tock

Give your invitations out about 2 weeks before hand. There really is no set date when throwing a party is better or not. Do it on Halloween, the week before, or even the day after, no one cares as long as they have a good time while they’re there! Just make sure you have it at night, because it’s much more spooky that way, and really sets the tone!

Game Time

No good party is complete without some sort of games! Depending on the group you are catering to, some games may be more fun than others. Pumpkin relays or a pumpkin pie eating contest are good ideas—then there’s always the “Dance Off”. Whatever you decide, just make sure to get the whole crowd involved!

Food.

There are many good ideas for food, but we’re just going to leave this picture here because this is the best idea for a food setting at a Halloween party that we’ve ever seen. Do this. For sure.

So to recap, you need food, good music, games, and an open invitation to let the teens “cut loose” a little bit. Make sure you have plenty of chaperones at the event, just in case that one kid- you know who we’re talking about- decides to get out of hand—or someone decides to start a game of the “Spin the Bottle”—uh no.

All in all, have a good Halloween and of course for any of your decoration or costume needs, give us a visit! Boo!

“Paw Patrol! Paw Patrol! Whenever you’re in trouble! Paw Patrol! Paw Patrol! We’ll be there on the double!” Chances are, if you have a young child, you’ve heard this song many times before. Paw Patrol is one of the most popular shows on Nickelodean for youngsters, and lucky for us parents, it’s not that bad to have to watch on repeat! Chances also are, that your little boy or girl might want to do a totally Paw Patrol themed birthday! Party Place has just about every item you will need in stock to help you create the perfect Paw Patrol birthday.

Things to Take into Consideration When Choosing a Venue for Your Party:

Depending on when your little one’s birthday is, weather could be a factor if you want to have an outside party. Pool parties, during the Summer months, would work well with this theme, as well as Spring picnic parties at your local park. If your child’s birthday falls in the Winter and Autumn months, opt for an inside party. Hold the event at your home, or pick a party venue. Most cities have inside jump around parks, like the Monkey House in Fort Smith, or skating rinks, movie theaters, and even gymnastic gyms. Your local McDonald’s is another option. Most have party rooms that can be rented, just call to reserve.

Invitations:

For those of us who aren’t Pinterest Mom or Dad of the year with creativity and projects, we have premade Paw Patrol themed invitations available just for you. Basically, all you will need to include is your child’s name, the address of the party venue, the date and time, and a good RSVP number. If you’d like, you can include a price range cap (only bring gifts up to $10, $20, etc). You can even ask your guests to bring their favorite Paw Patrol toy.

Decorations:

The Party Place has everything you need to decorate your party exactly the way you want. We make it easy to create the perfect table set ups. Use our Paw Patrol themed tableclothes to line each table you have ready for you guests. Place our Paw Patrol themed centerpieces in the middle of the tables to really spruce things up. In our centerpiece package, you will receieve a giant “Lookout” piece that should be used on the birthday girl’s or boy’s table. Place the other smaller centerpieces on the cake and present tables, then sprinkle the paw print confetti on the guests tables. We have Paw Patrol themed dinner plates for your guests to load up on their favorite treats, and smaller plates that can be used for everyone’s favorite part: the cake! Colored plastic wear is in stock as well, so you can pick out the best hue to match your theme! Adorn your ceilings with our Paw Patrol themed swirl decorations and Happy Birthday streamers! We also have colored ribbons and colored balloons to match–11 inch latex balloons are $1.59 each, or a dozen balloons are priced at $15.99. We even have goody bags to send home with your guests, but we will get to those details in a minute.

Food:

Your local bakery should be able to create a great Paw Patrol birthday cake–some even have cakes and cupcakes premade using your child’s favorite Paw Patrol characters.

Hot Dogs–because, why not? Hot dogs are easy to make and inexpensive to buy. Most kids love hot dogs, and it totally goes along with the theme.

Display all of your different treats in dog bowl serving trays!

Want to really take your theme further? Check out the recipe below!

Dog Bone Cookies

Sugar Cookies
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups flour

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl cream butter and sugar with electric mixer. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add baking powder and flour one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. The dough will be very stiff. Blend last flour in by hand. Do not chill dough. Divide dough into 2 balls, On a floured surface, roll each ball in a circle approximately 12″ in diameter and 1/8″ thick. Use cutters as guide; the dough should be only slightly thinner than cutter. Use a fork to create the holes in the center. Bake cookies on ungreased cookie sheet on top rack of oven for 6 to 7 minutes, or till cookies are lightly browned.

Games

Adopt a Puppy:

Pick up some tiny stuffed dog animals and display them in a basket. Make sure to include adoption certificates, and encourage each child to take one home with them! Kids will absolutley love this, and it gives them something meaningful to remember this special day. Have fun with your guests by allowing them chances to share the name they picked of their new puppy with everyone at the party. Take pictures of each child with their stuffed animal and post them on an online photo sharing site so parents can have the memory, too!

 

In the “Doghouse” Musical Game: The object of this game is not to get caught in the “doghouse” when the music is stopped. Use a big box to make a doghouse and cut out two doors. You will need a music source (iPod, CD Player, etc) and have someone employed to stop the music periodically. When the music starts, the first child goes through one door of the doghouse and out the other, the next child in line follows the first, and so on. Children continue passing through the house until the music stops. The child who is in the doghouse when the music stops is caught! For younger children, award a prize or sticker to ensure that everyone wins. For older children, the child who is caught is “out” for that game, just as in musical chairs. Continue playing until only one child remains and is named the winner.

 

Romping Rovers: Younger children love pretend play, so they’re sure to enjoy acting like dogs. Ask them to sit, roll over, lie down, and shake a paw.

 

Feed the Puppy: In this variation of a bean bag toss, start with a poster of a dog. Glue the poster onto cardboard, and cut a hole near the dog’s mouth. Hand three real dog treats to each player, and let the children take turns tossing the treats through the hole to “feed” the dog. Award a small prize to any child who gets one treat through the hole and a larger prize to any child who gets in all three treats.

 

Doggy Freeze Dance: Have all the kiddos dance and bark to dog music. When you call “Freeze” and stop the music, everyone has to stop. Anyone still moving after you say “Freeze” is out. Continue playing until only one child remains. Songs to use during this activity could be “Who Let the Dogs Out”, “How Much is that Doggy in the Window,” “Paw Patrol” themesong, or any other song you prefer.

 

Paw Patrol Trivia: Have your guests answer questions about the show! The winner gets a prize!

 

Goody Bags and Party Favors

  

When the party is over, send your guests home with a little something. We have Paw Patrol themed dog tags, stickers, bracelets, and more available that you can stuff inside a party favor bag covered in the Paw Patrol pups.

The Paw Patrol theme is a fun way to celebrate your child’s birthday!
